Why would not the Pharisees suffer y• people to believe in Christ: Cyrillus maketh answer, 1Quia quicquid Christo credentium accesserit, sibi detractum putabant. This was y• cause saith he, ⟨image 88⟩for y• they thought, how many soever faithful came unto Christ, so many were lost from them. And therefore they had lever keep the traditions of their elders, than hazard their estimation.

And Chrisost. upon the same matter saith, Con 1timerent ne principatum amitterent, ceu legum latores, ut maiores esse viderentur, multa innovabant, quaeres ad tantā peruenit nequitiā, ut praecepta sua custodirent magis quā mandata dei. Lest thei should lose their authority, as if they had bin law makers, men able to stablish and ordain laws, to the end they might seem greater, they altered much, which thing (in the end) grew to such a wickedness, y they kept their own commandments more then the commandments of God. Thus even now the Lords harvest is great, the labourers few, and the destroyers and hinderers above number.
